Abstract:

Marine communities are frequently biogeographically structured, despite the potential for dispersal. Previous research on a variety of marine taxa in south-eastern Australia has suggested that a biogeographic break occurs along the coastline of Victoria. However, little of this research has focussed on nearshore ichthyofauna and the location of the break remains debated. Using fish abundance measured by two methods: underwater visual census (UVC); and baited remote underwater video (BRUV) at six locations along the open coast of Victoria, we examined (1) whether there is sufficient concordance among species to indicate the presence of a faunal break; and if present (2) where any such breaks occur. Differences in assemblage composition between locations were tested with analyses of similarity and examination of residuals from regressions of pairwise dissimilarities against coastline distance. Data collected using UVC revealed two large faunal breaks co-located with a habitat discontinuity, the convergence of two currents and a thermal gradient. Data collected by BRUV revealed only a gradation of change across the study region. Greater understanding of the biogeographic structure of these communities will facilitate more effective management, especially in light of anticipated range shifts in response to global climate change.

"Health actions prompted by health assessments for people with intellectual disability exceed actions recorded in general practitioners' records."

Abstract:

People with intellectual disability experience inadequate health care and have unmet health needs that can go unidentified or be poorly managed. Health assessments have been shown to significantly increase short-term clinical activity for people with intellectual disability. The aim of this study was to more accurately quantify the effect of health assessments for people with intellectual disability by comparing health actions recorded in health assessment booklets to actions recorded in general practitioners’ (GPs) records in the 12-month period following the health assessment. Participants were people with intellectual disability who had received a Comprehensive Health Assessment Program (CHAP), living in the community. The CHAP is a health assessment that is demonstrated to significantly increase health actions, compared with usual care, for people with intellectual disability. Data collected from three randomised controlled trials conducted in South-East Queensland, Australia, from 2000 to 2010 were pooled and analysed. The health assessment booklet contained significantly more information on health actions than GPs’ records. Notably, hearing tests (risk ratio (RR) = 5.9; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 4.7–7.4), breast checks (RR = 3.9; 95% CI = 2.7–5.7), and skin examinations (RR = 7.9; 95% CI = 5.9–10.7) were more likely to be recorded in the CHAP booklet. Health assessments increase health actions for people with intellectual disability to a significantly greater extent than previously demonstrated.

Abstract:

Background and context: Thiruvananthapuram has the highest breast cancer incidence in India and majority of cases are detected late pointing to the inefficiency of early detection programs. Primary health care providers do not advise regarding regular screening and most women never resort to any screening practices. Mammogram is not cost-effective and clinical breast examination (CBE) is not popular as a screening modality in our population. Aim: To describe the conduct, utilization and outcome of mass screening program conducted in Thiruvananthapuram. Strategy: A mass screening program with media publicity to motivate organizations and residential associations was planned. CBE was conducted by one of the five lady doctors who were trained by an expert breast surgeon at a tertiary care center to detect suspicious lumps. All suspicious cases referred to experts who would further evaluate the cases at a clinic outside the tertiary care center. Advocacy and expert service at accessible sites and availability of expert service outside the tertiary care center at convenient timings improved the acceptance of screening. Intersectoral coordination, community participation, accessible expert services and appropriate technology were followed. Program/Policy process: 9942 women had CBE along with breast awareness in 101 camps over 66 days and it was probably “the first ever marathon breast cancer screening campaign” in the world. Sociodemographic variables, details regarding previous screening, breast symptoms and known risk factors were collected. Anyone with suspicious findings was referred to experts. Outcomes: 868 (8.73%) women with suspicious findings were referred to experts who advised 258 mammograms and confirmed breast cancer in 16 women (1.61 per 1000 women). Mean age was 45.46 years. 82.5% had screening for the first time. Uniformity in examination, three levels of screening and minimum utilization of diagnostic procedures makes this campaign distinct from others. All participants are kept on follow-up through a free clinic maintained by a nonprofit NGO in Thiruvananthapuram. Effective planning and selfless service along with coordinated effort of an apex institution (Regional Cancer Centre, Thiruvananthapuram), a private medical college (Sree Gokulam Medical College, Thiruvananthapuram) and media partners were the key to success. What was learned: Early detection of breast cancer is possible by CBE, provided women can be motivated for regular screening and adequate expertise is available. CBE campaigns can improve screening behavior and breast awareness among women. Primary health care providers and mass media could educate women regarding the benefits of breast awareness and motivate them for regular screening. Proper referral system including certified intermediate referral centers should be in place to ensure the success of early detection by CBE.

Abstract:

Close examination of Orthoprotella mayeri K.H. Barnard, 1916 (sensu lato) which has been recorded from South Africa and New South Wales, Australia, revealed that there are two distinct species from Cape Province, South Africa and New South Wales, Australia, respectively. The present paper provides a redescription of O. mayeri K.H. Barnard, 1916 (sensu stricto) from South Africa and a description of O. berentsae sp. nov. from New South Wales, Australia. The two species can be identified based on the morphology of antenna 2, pereonites 6 and 7, and the uropods, although characteristic body somites of both species resemble other species.

Abstract:

Inflammatory breast carcinoma is a rare form of advanced breast cancer which carries a poor prognosis, even with treatment. Diagnosis is reached on clinical and pathological grounds; however, due to its propensity to mimic other conditions, it may often be delayed or missed by attending physicians. This case series describes four patients seen at our institution with a diagnosis of inflammatory breast cancer; 3 patients had a history of previously treated breast malignancy. In these cases, the emergence of a new breast lesion evaded initial diagnosis due to incomplete initial physical examination, falsely reassuring imaging results, lack of recognition that a cellulitis picture can resemble metastatic carcinoma, and inconclusive initial biopsy sections. These obstacles to achieve diagnosis serve to further worsen the prognosis by delaying the initiation of multimodality treatment which can improve survival. The purpose of our paper is to increase awareness among breast cancer specialists of the importance of undressing the patient for basic clinical examination of the breasts, recognition of the appearances of this type of local recurrence of breast cancer, and not to rely purely on ultrasound and mammography due to delay in diagnosis in some of our local cases. Sometimes deeper sections and repeat biopsies are needed to make the diagnosis.

Abstract:

Objective: To look at the perceptions of New South Wales (NSW) psychiatric trainees in relation to their training experiences and the role and quality of the consultant registrar relationship. Methods: A self-report questionnaire was developed to probe trainee perceptions of the consultant–trainee relationship in all those who had completed at least 1 year of training in psychiatry (n = 138) in NSW, as well as all consultants who had completed their training in the last 5 years (n = 95). Test-retest reliability was assessed at 3 months for each of the subscales (r = 0.70–0.89) and found to be acceptable. Validity issues are discussed. Results: The results are discussed with special reference to the perceived competence, availability, breadth of knowledge and willingness to accept responsibilities of the supervising consultant. Consultant competence as a clinician was consistently rated as more important than being emotionally supportive. Conclusion: In addressing these issues, we aim to increase the degree of self-consciousness and reflectiveness of the profession of psychiatry within the Australian context. If there is to be a substantial shift for the better in trainees' perceptions of consultants, it is likely that the general consultant experience will have to be improved rather than providing small amounts of exposure to high quality consultants.

Abstract:

Purpose Breast cancer survival is unacceptably low in many low-resource settings, including rural South Africa, where access to screening and treatment services is limited. To describe the context for implementing an early detection program, we assessed knowledge and attitudes toward breast cancer risk, early detection, and treatment. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional survey among 243 women presenting to Hlokomela Clinic in Hoedspruit, South Africa, during April and May 2016. We used quantitative and qualitative analyses to determine levels of knowledge of risk factors, symptoms, and treatment of breast cancer, as well as experience with and attitudes toward detection and treatment methods. Results Thirty-one percent of women correctly identified at least six of 12 risk factors for breast cancer, and 53.1% identified breast lumps as an important symptom. Although > 97% of women stated that self–breast examination and early detection were highly important and that they would seek care for changes in their breasts, only 33.3% of women reported performing self–breast examination, and only 24.3% reported receiving a clinical breast examination. Age and education were not associated with knowledge, and level of knowledge did not predict care-seeking behaviors or attitudes. Conclusion Although women demonstrated moderate levels of knowledge of breast cancer symptoms and risk factors and the importance of early detection, few women reported seeking services. These data demonstrate sufficient levels of knowledge and positive attitudes toward care seeking and suggest both a need and readiness for increased access to cost-effective services to facilitate early diagnosis and improved outcomes.

Full text

Abstract:

The Zero Tolerance Campaign against violence to women and children is a hard hitting, controversial campaign designed to raise public awareness and provoke debate about male abuse of power in the areas of domestic violence, rape and sexual assault, and child sexual abuse. Zero Tolerance is also an example of best practice in cross sectoral co-operation. The campaign comprises a statewide initiative involving the Health Promotion Unit of the South Australian Health Commission, the Domestic Violence Resource Unit, Family and Community Services, community health workers and local community action groups throughout the state. The process of bringing together a wide range of individuals from very different backgrounds and differing perspectives to work collaboratively on a controversial, innovative project led to extensive examination and defining of the issues involved. The planning process included a microcosm of the debate which Zero Tolerance intends to generate in the community. Resolution of the issues raised, employed many of the strategies developed and identified as best practice in the field of primary health care. The paper explores the challenges and rewards in the context of working collaboratively through the planning of a controversial initiative and identifies the merits of a campaign which has built on a diverse range of knowledge. Zero Tolerance, as a campaign, has the scope to be adapted in a variety of culturally and socially diverse initiatives as it becomes identified as an example of international best practice developed to stop violence against women and children.

Abstract:

The marine benthic green macroalgae of the New South Wales mainland and of Lord Howe Island are listed, each with bibliographic, distributional and specimen-voucher details. Included are 113 species in 9 orders, 14 families and 38 genera, of which 12 species are based on New South Wales types. With respect to biodiversity, New South Wales is as rich in numbers of genera and species as southern Australia. Eight genera (Pedobesia, Boodlea, Neomeris, Trichosolen, Ventvicaria, Caulerpella, Pseudochlorodesmis, Sporocladopsis) and 41 species are new records for the State, and 14 species are newly recorded for the Australian continent. The largest genus represented is Cladophora; 22 species are recorded, 13 from Lord Howe Island alone, and 7 are new to Australia (C. cymopoliae, C. colabense, C. dotyana, C. nigrescens, C. ohkuboana, C. patentirainea, C. ryukyuensis). Examination of type and recently collected material of Caulerpa annulata (from Port Arthur, Tasmania) shows it to be synonymous with the earlier Caulerpa hodgkinsoniae (from Ballina, New South Wales).

Abstract:

Breast cancer is a malignant tumor which developed in breast cells. According to WHO, an effective method to improve earlier breast cancer detection is by self-breast examination and this is proven to reduce breast cancer mortality rate since 1990. The objective of this research was to find out the influence of peer education on SADARI (self-breast examination) behaviour in preventing breast cancer for woman of childbearing age in South Lampung, Indonesia. This was a quantitative study by using pre-experimental approach and one group pretest and posttest design. The samples were 32 respondents who were taken by using random sampling. Data were obtained through questionnaires and analyzed by using statistic test with t-dependent test (paired t-test). The result shows that there is an influence of peer education on SADARI behaviour in preventing breast cancer for woman of childbearing age in South Lampung, Indonesia with p-value 0.000. SADARI behavior can be done to women as a self-examination, especially women of childbearing age to prevent breast cancer.

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of breast self-examination (BSE) and components underlying compliance or non-compliance using the Health Belief Model (HBM) adapted by Champion (1993). Purposive sampling was used to obtain participants from community groups and the general population within the Northern Suburbs of Victoria, Australia. The 87 participants were women aged between 18 and 64, with a mean age of 34 years. The research hypotheses were supported and are consistent with previous research findings using American participants. Using multiple regression, the overall model of the HBM variables and the frequency of BSE were significant ( F(6,80) = 13.3443, p<.0001), indicating that frequency of BSE is significantly related to perception of seriousness of the disease, confidence in performing BSE, perception of susceptibility to breast cancer, the benefits of— and barriers to— performing BSE, and level of health motivation. Perceived confidence in performing BSE and perception of personal susceptibility to breast cancer were most strongly related to frequency of BSE and accounted for a significant amount of the variance of the HBM.

Full text

Abstract:

Eucryphia leaves recovered from Tertiary sediments in south-eastern Australia are assigned to three new species, E. falcata (Late Palaeocene, Lake Bungarby), E. microstoma (Early Eocene, Regatta Point) and E. aberensis (Middle to Late Eocene, Loch Aber). Leaves from Early Pleistocene sediments at Regatta Point are re-examined and are considered to be closely related to the extant species, E. lucida and E. milliganii. An examination of the leaf morphology of the fossil and extant species suggests that evolution has taken place, resulting in smaller leaves at higher latitudes and/or altitudes probably in response to climatic change. There is also evidence for an increase in the size and complexity of peltiform cuticular extensions on the abaxial leaf surface from the Early Tertiary to the present, which may be a response to lower water availability or increasing occurrence of frost.

Full text

Abstract:

Terrestrial landscapes have existed in parts of southern South Australia since the Carboniferous to Permian Gondwanaland glaciation. Widespread weathered zones and ferricrete horizons and crusts on present highland surfaces in the region have been ascribed by various workers to Mesozoic or early Tertiary weathering phases. A critical examination of field relationships, however, points instead to complex reworking and continuous weathering of relic landscapes since early Mesozoic times, leading to the intricate patterns of sediments and soils forming the present regolith. Ferricrete crusts sporadically distributed on the highland surfaces are interpreted dominantly as remnants of iron-impregnated sediments of ancient valleys or depressions. The great but variable thickness of kaolinized bedrock beneath the highland surfaces, regarded by other workers as the mottled and pallid zones of a 'laterite' profile, is the integrated product of leaching and weathering throughout the Mesozoic and Cainozoic and cannot be assigned to separate and distinct climatic events. The use of weathered landsurfaces and ferricretes as morphostratigraphic markers in such landscapes is questionable.

Abstract:

Introduction: Breast cancer in Rwanda is a major concern for women’s health, as most breast cancer diagnoses are made at an advanced stage. Yet, diagnosis can be done early with breast cancer screening practices. Aim: To assess factors influencing breast cancer screening practices among women of reproductive age in South Kayonza District of Rwanda. Methodology: A quantitative survey was conducted with 246 women between 16 and 49 years of age from four health centres in South Kayonza District. A structured, pretested, and self-administered questionnaire was used to assess the influence of knowledge, health facilities, and socioeconomic and cultural factors on breast screening practices among women in South Kayonza. Result: Among all respondents, 55.5% had moderate knowledge about breast cancer risk factors and 60.2% also had moderate knowledge on the influence of breast cancer screening. While 28% were knowledgeable about Breast Self-Examination (BSE), 16.4% were knowledgeable about Clinical Breast Examination (CBE) and breast ultrasound. Responses about the practice of breast screening in the last two years showed 72% of respondents had never practiced BSE and 81.3% had not used CBE or breast ultrasound scan. The main source of information about breast cancer screening was the radio, used by 30.4% of respondents. Significant relationships were found between age and marital status with breast cancer screening practices. Conclusion: This study revealed low levels of knowledge about breast cancer, breast cancer screening, and practice regarding breast cancer screening. There is a need to promote awareness of breast cancer and create a program, which can influence breast cancer screening knowledge and practice to ultimately improve health among women in south Kayonza.

Abstract:

Purpose: It aimed to compare the use of the tele objective structured clinical examination (teleOSCE) with in-person assessment in high-stakes clinical examination so as to determine the impact of the teleOSCE on the assessment undertaken. Discussion follows regarding what skills and domains can effectively be assessed in a teleOSCE. Methods: This study is a retrospective observational analysis. It compares the results achieved by final year medical students in their clinical examination, assessed using the teleOSCE in 2020 (n=285), with those who were examined using the traditional in-person format in 2019 (n=280). The study was undertaken at the University of New South Wales, Australia.Results: In the domain of physical examination, students in 2020 scored 0.277 points higher than those in 2019 (mean difference –0.277, P<0.001, effect size 0.332). Across all other domains, there was no significant difference in mean scores between 2019 and 2020.Conclusion: The teleOSCE does not negatively impact assessment in clinical examination in all domains except physical examination. If the teleOSCE is the future of clinical skills examination, assessment of physical examination will require concomitant workplace-based assessment.

Abstract:

An invasive foraminiferan is recorded for the first time in an Australian estuary. Trochammina hadai, originally described as endemic from Japan and subsequently found to be alien in coastal waters of California and Brazil, has been identified in estuarine sediment in the vicinity of Bunbury Port in Western Australia. Species determination is based on morphological, molecular and ecological similarities to the Japanese type. The species has not been recorded in other estuaries in Australia. Bunbury Port is a major exporter of woodchip to Japan and the introduction of T. hadai may have come from ballast water out of shallow-draught woodchip vessels. Small sediment samples of estuarine mud obtained at water depths of ~5 m contain abundant T. hadai (on average ~0.4 mm in adult diameter) that are easily recognised in microscopic view of the sediment surface by their bright reddish-brown colour. The collection of sediment samples from the estuarine floor and ballast water, and the examination of these for foraminifers, may provide a useful indicator in estuaries for the possible presence of other exotic species, particularly in the vicinity of ports.

Abstract:

A morphological review of the diminutive annual species from the Stylidium despectum R.Br. group (Stylidiaceae) is presented. Twelve species are recognised, of which 10 are endemic in the south-west of Western Australia and two are widespread across southern temperate Australia. Following examination of type material, herbarium collections and field observations, a change of circumscription is presented for S. despectum and S. inundatum R.Br. The former name is applied to a widespread species that occurs in Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales and Tasmania, and is characterised by scattered or rosetted leaves, pink and/or white corolla lobes in a fan-shaped arrangement, and an immobile floral column. S. brachyphyllum Sond. is newly placed into synonymy under S. despectum and a lectotype selected. S. inundatum is redefined as a south-western Australian endemic with scattered leaves, vertically-paired or evenly spreading corolla lobes, and a mobile floral column. A lectotype is designated for S. inundatum, and S. sidjamesii Lowrie & Kenneally is treated as conspecific. S. beaugleholei J.H.Willis is confirmed for Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania. S. asymmetricum Wege, a new and apparently rare species from the Northern Jarrah Forest in south-western Australia, is formally described and revised descriptions are provided for S. longitubum Benth., S. pygmaeum R.Br., S. rhipidium F.L.Erickson & J.H.Willis, S. roseoalatum F.L.Erickson & J.H.Willis, S. roseonanum Carlquist, S. tinkeri Lowrie & Kenneally, S. utricularioides Benth. and S. xanthopis F.L.Erickson & J.H.Willis. A lectotype is designated for S. longitubum Benth. and S. utricularioides var. rosulatum Mildbr. is newly placed into synonymy under S. roseoalatum. A key to species is provided, along with photographs to aid identification. Further field-based studies are required to refine the taxonomy of this group and to better understand the distribution, rarity and conservation status of some of the taxa. In Western Australia, seven species are listed as being of conservation concern, of which S. asymmetricum, S. tinkeri and S. xanthopis require immediate further survey to ascertain whether they should be given Threatened Flora status.

Full text

Abstract:

Basic density was assessed at 23 positions in stems of mature Pinusradiata D. Don growing at 22 sites throughout New South Wales. The most striking and consistent form of variation was within stem, where density increased appreciably in the centrifugal direction, e.g., by an average of 44% over the first 26 rings at breast height. Less obviously, a basipetal increase occurred low in the bole in tissues of a given formative age. Variations in density between trees on a single site frequently exceeded 20%. The extreme difference between sites was approximately 20%, with 20 of the stands differing by less than 11%. Across the sites, density tended to vary positively with rainfall in the summer months (R2 = 0.27–0.29), and negatively with foliar phosphorus levels (R2 = 0.16–0.31), winter rainfall (R2 = 0.10–0.19), and the productivity parameters of stem diameter (R2 = 0.21–0.26) and height (R2 = 0.14–0.24). Density was essentially unrelated to site temperature. Effects, particularly those of rainfall, are possibly mediated in part by the earlywood/latewood ratio in annual increments.

Abstract:

It has long been suggested that the populations of the Zigzag Velvet Gecko Oedura rhombifer in south-eastern Queensland represent a distinct species. Here, we provide morphological data supporting this assertion, and describe these populations as Oedura jacovae sp. nov. This species is predominately arboreal and is found in open eucalypt forests between the distributions of its two most similar congeners, O. rhombifer to the north and O. lesueurii to the south. It is morphologically distinguished from its congeners by dorsal pattern, characteristics of the 1 st and 2 nd supralabial scales, and the degree of webbing between the 3 rd and 4 th toes. Preliminary genetic data shows that Oedura jacovae sp. nov. is most closely related to O. rhombifer and O. lesueurii but is highly divergent from both. Further sampling is required to refine distributional knowledge of O. jacovae sp. nov. and to determine zones of contact between it and its closest congeners. Oedura jacovae sp. nov. is widespread in south-eastern Queensland but is likely to be threatened by the extensive clearing of lowland eucalyptus forest communities. Competition from rapidly expanding populations of the introduced Asian House Gecko Hemidactylus frenatus is also of concern. The examination of comparative material in this study allows us to highlight a number of populations of O. rhombifer that are morphologically interesting and in need of taxonomic investigation. Additionally, we confirm that the lectotypes of O. rhombifer and O. lesueurii are consistent with the currently accepted concepts of these two taxa.

Abstract:

Breast augmentation is the most common surgical procedure for women globally, with 1,795,551 cases performed in 2019. Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is highly uncommon, with 733 reported cases as of January 2020. In South Africa, there are less than 4000 breast augmentation surgeries annually. This case presents the first case report documentation of a South African woman diagnosed with BIA-ALCL. The patient was a 61-year-old woman who consulted the Breast Care Centre of Excellence in Johannesburg in 2015. She had a prior history of bilateral augmentation mammoplasty with subsequent implant exchange. The patient presented with periprosthetic fluid with a mass-like enhancement on the left breast. Aspiration of the mass-like fluid was positive for CD45, CD30, and CD68 and negative for CD20 and ALK-1, indicative of BIA-ALCL. Surgical treatment included bilateral explantation, complete capsulectomies, and bilateral mastopexy. Macroscopic examination of the left breast capsulectomy demonstrated fibrous connective tissue. The histological examination of the tumor showed extensive areas of broad coagulative necrosis with foamy histiocytes. Immunohistochemistry examination of this tumor showed CD3-, CD20-, and ALK-1-negative and CD30- and CD68-positive stains. PCR analysis for T-cell clonality showed monoclonal T-cell expansion. These findings confirm the presence of BIA-ALCL. The patient recovered well after surgery and did not require adjuvant therapy. A patient with a confirmed diagnosis of BIA-ALCL was successfully treated with explantation and complete capsulectomy. She was followed up regularly for six years, and the patient remains well and in remission.

Full text

Abstract:

Wrongful convictions leave an indelible mark on society. They are a tangible demonstration that the criminal legal system has failed, and a poignant reminder that all human institutions are fallible. Robust post-conviction review mechanisms are essential to provide an opportunity for justice to be eventually achieved for those who are wrongfully convicted. Through a critical examination of the post-conviction review mechanisms in NSW, which includes determining the existence of independence, transparency and accountability in the system, some deficiencies will be identified and analysed. Drawing on insights from the author’s role as a lawyer for Kathleen Folbigg (a woman convicted in 2003 of the murder of three of her infant children, and the manslaughter of her first child), this article will outline some of the key problems with the current system of post-conviction review in NSW. It then critically compares the existing system with the United Kingdom Criminal Cases Review Commission (“UK CCRC”). The UK CCRC has been chosen because it is a pioneering model which is designed to identify and remedy wrongful convictions in an independent, transparent, and accountable way. The article concludes that a version similar to the UK CCRC should be implemented in NSW to achieve justice for those wrongfully convicted.

Abstract:

Males of the onychoteuthid squid Moroteuthis ingens implant spermatophores directly into a variety of internal and external tissues of the female, based on the examination of 14 individuals collected south of Tasmania, Australia. Furthermore, the capture of a pair of mating individuals suggests that ‘jaw locking’ reminiscent of cichlid fish may be a behaviour associated with courtship and mating.

Full text

Abstract:

The reproductive cycles of female Nyctophilus geoffroyi and N. major from south-western Australia are described from capture records and histological examination of tissue from fixed specimens. The sequence of reproductive events for both species was similar to that described for other vespertilionid bats from south- western Australia. Mating commenced between March and May. Sperm were stored in the caudal isthmus of the oviduct and in endometrial glands near the utero-tubal junction. Ovulation and fertilisation occurred in late August or September and twinning was common. Parturition occurred between late October and November, with volant young first captured during December, but it appeared not all N. geoffroyi females were reproductively active every year. Lactation had generally ceased by February, which was when the last detectably juvenile bats were captured.

Full text

Abstract:

The reproductive biology of Cherax cainii was studied in an impoundment dam in south-western Australia using histological examination of ovarian development (previous studies describing the reproductive biology of freshwater crayfish have relied solely on macroscopic descriptions of gonadal development). Spawning occurred between August and November and peaked in late August and September, with the percentage of berried females increasing from 50% in September to 96% in November before declining to 11% in December. Juveniles were released from berried females between late November and early December. Female gonads recovered dramatically after spawning with 81% of mature females possessing stage IV (maturing) gonads in March. The respective orbital carapace lengths at which 50 and 95% of C. cainii reached maturity were 32.1 and 37.9 mm for females, and 28.6 and 38.8 mm for males. The mean potential fecundity (i.e. number of mature ovarian oocytes prior to spawning) was 443 compared with 286 for the mean effective fecundity (i.e. number of pleopodal eggs, embryos or juveniles following spawning). The fact that the full ovarian reproductive potential of C. cainii is not attained is probably due to the limitation of egg attachment space on the pleopods.

Abstract:

AbstractMandatory I fortification in bread was introduced in Australia in 2009 in response to the re-emergence of biochemical I deficiency based on median urinary I concentration (UIC)<100 µg/l. Data on the I status of lactating mothers and their infants in Australia are scarce. The primary aim of this study was to assess the I status, determined by UIC and breast milk I concentration (BMIC), of breast-feeding mothers in South Australia and UIC of their infants. The secondary aim was to assess the relationship between the I status of mothers and their infants. The median UIC of the mothers (n 686) was 125 (interquartile range (IQR) 76–200) µg/l and median BMIC (n 538) was 127 (IQR 84–184) µg/l. In all, 38 and 36 % of the mothers had a UIC and BMIC below 100 µg/l, respectively. The median UIC of infants (n 628) was 198 (IQR 121–296) µg/l, and 17 % had UIC<100 µg/l. Infant UIC was positively associated with maternal UIC (β 0·26; 95 % CI 0·14, 0·37, P<0·001) and BMIC (β 0·85; 95 % CI 0·66, 1·04, P<0·001) at 3 months postpartum after adjustment for gestational age, parity, maternal secondary and further education, BMI category and infant feeding mode. The adjusted OR for infant UIC<100 µg/l was 6·49 (95 % CI 3·80, 11·08, P<0·001) in mothers with BMIC<100 µg/l compared with those with BMIC≥100 µg/l. The I status of mothers and breast-fed infants in South Australia, following mandatory I fortification, is indicative of I sufficiency. BMIC<100 µg/l increased the risk of biochemical I deficiency in breast-fed infants.

Abstract:

The morphology of the abundant brackish-water hydrobiid snail known as 'Hydrobia buccinoides' is described. A new genus, Ascorhis, is provided for it and the valid species name for the southern (South Australia, Victoria, Tasmania) and eastern (New South Wales, Queensland) populations is shown to be victoriae T. Woods. The species name buccinoides is based on Assiminea tasmanica and is an earlier name for that species. Morphological and allozyme differences indicate that the Western Australian populations should be distinguished as a separate species and a new name (A. occidua) is provided for these. Both species show a considerable intrapopulation variation in shell sculpture. Salinity tolerance experiments on three Sydney populations indicate that Ascorhis victoriae tolerates a wide range of salinities, the middle of the preferred range being about that of normal seawater.

Abstract:

The snake mite, Ophionyssus natricis (Acari: Macronyssidae), occurs in many parts of the world and is of animal and human health significance. In Australia Op. natricis is considered an introduced species in parts of coastal eastern and southern Australia and is thought to be absent in the wild. Herein we report on the occurrence of Op. natricis in Adelaide and a rural locality in South Australia on lizards from the genus Tiliqua. We also review previous records of this mite species based on published reports and the examination of museum specimens. The results show that the snake mite has been collected on wild hosts at several localities in at least two states and is therefore not restricted to reptiles in captivity.

The study is aimed at the examination of spatial distribution of rainfall to produce rainfall erosivity map in Onkaparinga watershed, utilising Geographic Information System (GIS). Rainfall data was obtained from rainfall stations in and around the watershed as monthly precipitation data. Ordinary least square (OLS) method implemented to observe the relationship between rainfall erosivity as dependent variable, and both of rainfall and elevation as the explanatory variable. To create the continous surface of the site specific monthly and annual average precipitation data, the universal kriging interpolattion was implemented. The regression model shows that 96% of the predicted R factor value matches the observed R factor value. The result of this study is characterised the rainfall on the watershed as high temporal variability.Keywords: GIS, DEM, Universal kriging, OLS, Rainfall erosivity
